Tobacco Zero©: Teaching Kids to Resist Social Influences to Use Tobacco
Social Influences: Students build a personalized avatar and a simluated social network of "friends" and play activities to learn about the peer and social influences of tobacco use.
Interactive Education: The user launches interactive Games and Gizmos from the interface. The Tobacco Zero Games present information in puzzle or video-game format and include a brief quiz.
Engaging Content: The Tobacco Zeroprogram engages students and increases learning, understanding, and retention of key tobacco-related concepts. Computer-based activities make learning fun, and are an effective tool for reaching at-risk students. Each Game and Gizmo targets tobacco initiation and use including, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and short- and long-term health consequences, with the primary focus on peer influences and social images. The topics of addiction, environmental tobacco smoke, and tobacco industry marketing are also covered.
Design and Evaluation: Tobacco Zero is designed to be an adjunct to traditional classroom-based tobacco prevention curricula. The program was evaluated with more than 2000 students in 6th, 7th, 8th grades.
